Maybe they don't like external links? I had links to Wikipedia pages showing and describing the tools mentioned below. I also tried posting images, using Wikipedia images, with the same results.
I don't like assuming anything about a person's knowledge so I encourage you to look up the following three tools on Wikipedia. (Even if you're already familiar with them.)
Axiom #2: Brand name tools does not necessarily mean quality tools.
Around fifty years ago, I bought a no-name set of pliers consisting of diagonal cutters (commonly called "dikes"), needle-nose pliers, and lineman's pliers. The linesman's pliers disappeared roughly forty years ago, presumably "borrowed" by someone and never returned. I damaged the diagonal cutters by using them to remove studs from a set of tires 35 years ago. On the other hand, I still have the needle-nose pliers and continue to use them, as recently as yesterday. (Those needle-nose pliers are still my favorite ... I haven't found any others that serve as well for general all-around use.)
